Songs of Descent is a monodrama for singer and Sinfonietta ensemble by trans composer Phoenix Rousiamanis (they/she) that retells the myth of Persephone’s descent as an allegory to psychological descent and queer experience. It is a surreal gothic tale about compassion and finding beauty in the ugliest and darkest of contexts. This genre-defying piece makes use of extreme pacing that brings out the horror of the narrative in a violent yet beautiful sound-world with long stretches of ferocious sounds, obsessively reoccurring passages and unexpected explosions of angst.
